Hi folks,

Tim Webster of the Applied Geomatics Research Group (AGRG) has passed along
this ad for a great talk coming up tomorrow night in Dartmouth (below).
cheers,
James.

###

* "...*a Public Lecture at the NSCC Waterfront Campus Theatre (80 Mawiomi
Pl, Dartmouth =96 Next to the Dartmouth General Hospital)*Tues. May 7, 7:00=
 PM
* on *Mapping the Damage from Hurricane Sandy along the New Jersey
Shore. *Please
distribute to any groups and individuals who may be interested in this
topic, especially since it has so much relevance to a coastal province such
as ours."

*U.S. coastal mapping expert presents on Hurricane Sandy=92s devastation***=
**
**

*Dartmouth, NS* =96 An American expert in the field of coastal mapping will
offer his findings on the destruction Hurricane Sandy had on coastal
habitats along the Northeastern United States October 2012.

*Dr. John Brock,* staff scientist with the United States Geological Survey
(USGS) Coastal and Marine Geology Program at the National Centre in
Virginia, will present on his work on U.S. *coastal hazards* and how to
protect coastal habitats from super storms in the *Presentation Theatre at
NSCC's Waterfront Campus*, Dartmouth on Tuesday, *May 7* at *7 pm*. ****

The discussion will offer:****

**=B7         **A visual tour of =93Superstorm Sandy=92s=94 impacts on urba=
n and
natural areas along the New York and New Jersey shoreline****

**=B7         **A demonstration of the role coastal elevation mapping throu=
gh
airborne laser imaging detection and ranging (lidar) equipment plays in
preparing for and responding to the landfall of major hurricanes****

**=B7         **A lidar mapping and USGS Experimental Advanced Airborne
Research Lidar-B outline****

**=B7         **Early results from USGS coastal airborne lidar response to
the landfall of Hurricane Sandy on the US Northeast Coast****

Dr. Brock=92s research has included co-operative efforts between the USGS,
NASA and the National Park Service to create new remote sensing-based
capabilities for coastal studies and natural resources management and
applications of that work on national seashores.  Dr. Brock is familiar
with province having received his post-doctorate at the Bedford Institute
of Oceanography in Dartmouth.****
